This delicious and hearty Tortellini Meatball Soup is filled with plump tortellini and meatballs with mushrooms in a spaghetti sauce based soup.
There’s nothing like a warm and hearty Italian soup recipe on a cool evening. We love to pair this yummy soup with Garlic Breadsticks and a Caesar Salad.

Meatball tortellini soup with mushrooms is a very filling dinner, best enjoyed with crusty garlic bread. The mushrooms really make this soup, along with the spaghetti sauce! It simplifies the recipe while adding a TON of flavor.

Tortellini Meatball Soup Recipe
It’s easy to make this soup with my Baked Meatballs or Air Fryer Meatballs and some Easy Homemade Marinara Sauce, but you can always use frozen meatballs and jarred sauce as well if you’re in a hurry. I tend to have frozen meatballs and spaghetti sauce on hand so we love to use it this way!

How To Make Tortellini Meatball Soup
I love this tortellini soup recipe because it takes under 30 minutes to make, with time during cooking to set the table. It’s so simple, I’ll walk you through the steps!
Cook Mushrooms and Onion
In a large soup pot over high heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the onion and sauté until tender, about 3 minutes while stirring. Add in the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add Meatballs
To the large pot, add in the meatballs, chicken broth, water, and spaghetti sauce. Bring to a boil. Keep in mind, if you are using frozen meatballs it will take a little longer to boil.

Once the soup is boiling, add in the tortellini and cook until al dente, about 7 minutes. Serve the soup garnished with freshly chopped parsley or basil and grated parmesan cheese.
